This blog has been on life support for the last few months, due in no small part to my lack of posts. I guess that's happened mostly because I've become wary of retail and haven't bought that many cards in 2009. Perhaps this will change?

Let's tear in.

Unfortunately there wasn't a companion card to the Historical Moments card that would have made good fodder for an STD joke. Oh well. I have to say that I like the design more than the last few years.

I'm torn on the design of the cards themselves. Is that supposed to be marble the picture is set on? Smoke? Some other sort of bacteria?

I'll be honest, I don't understand Upper Deck's obsession with random history and putting it into card format, and then putting it into my packs. Although part of me wants to collect all 2,500 inserts from the Goudey set just because it sounds insane.
